If you work in a team that requires lots of collaboration, you might not get to restructure work.
Can people call you or message you to clarify what you just now pushed at 11pm? Do you respond immediately? Let's say you do immediately because you restructure your night time as your best work time, does that mean you're automatically exempt from 8am meetings in a few hours?
Come to think of it. Pushing code at 11pm is not that unusual even pre-covid, but the expectation for the associated communication might be totally different.
Agreed that 2 million USD is not much compared to total revenue.
However, you see, TSE YoY growth from 2017 to 2018 is roughly 4 million USD. Growth is hard as it is for TSE, leaving money on the table like this time definitely hurts.
Stock exchanges earn major share of their profit from processing the orders.
They just lost at least a whole day of revenue.
After compiling some number for their annual report[1], I would say the loss from TSE revenue alone is roughly 2 million USD. But considering the effect trickling down the revenue stream where other security partners whose revenue depends on earning transaction fees, I would say the real damage would be many folds of that 2 million loss from TSE.
Why did you call me out?
